yDNA study
When the present
researcher for the Pincombe/Pinkham Family at the Guild of one-name studies
decided to take on her mother’s surname, another team of researchers had just
given up the study of the Pincombe/Pinkham surname. Galen Pinkham of the United
States of America and Dr. Richard Pinkham of Gloucestershire, England had over
a period of fifty years acquired a great deal of information on various
Pincombe and Pinkham family lines both in England and in the United States of
America. In order to preserve their study they produced several items which
were then lodged with the Society of Genealogists. One of these items was a
series of family trees on Bristol board sized sheets; a second item was a
computer printout (hundreds of pages) of all their accumulated computerized
data and a third item was transcriptions of Pincombe wills held at the Exeter
Record Office in Devon, England. The last item was particularly lucky as these
records were later destroyed in the WWII bombing of the Exeter Record Office.
Over the next couple of years I will insert one of these charts into each
newsletter. Although I am not always in agreement with the charts, they do
accumulate a lot of information on the family in particular locations. The
first chart I will enter will be the one that includes my own Pincombe line. It
has been attached to the wrong couple but a few lines can correct that. One
purpose in reproducing these charts is the hope that descendants of some of the
other lines will also recognize any errors or omissions and thus make the task
of creating new charts much easier.
My line at Bishops
Nympton has been attached to Thomas Pincombe (fifth child of John Pincombe and
Mary Charlie) and it should be attached to Robert Pincombe (fourth child of
John Pincombe and Mary Charlie). I also do not agree that the parents of John
Pincombe married to Mary Charlie were John Pincombe and Catherine Bryer. I
believe that John’s parents were John Pincombe and Grace Manning. Further back
John married to Grace Manning was more likely the son of William Pincombe and
Mary Vicary (William being a brother of the Thomas Pincombe listed married to
Christian) with that William being the eldest son of John Pincombe and Johane
Blackmoore. More on the descent further back later.

William, Symon, Johane, Katherin, Richard, Thomas, Lewis, Peter, John. The

necessarily birth order. This will is available for download on the National

William did an excellent
job of listing his children, grandchildren, siblings and their children. More
on this particular line later (and this is my line at Bishops Nympton; he names
his son Richard with a son William).

yDNA study
Although I mentioned in
the last newsletter I would have more information on the yDNA study I think
that I will talk about this particular set of markers which is carried by the
Pincombe family in North Devon. I will not yet discuss the yDNA markers for the
other groups within the study.
I still do not have any
ideas on there being several distinct lines of Pincombe/Pinkham.
Finding that one
Pinkham/Pincombe line that is not part of my line directly but has been in the
United States for over three hundred years was very interesting. However, at
this point I have not yet discovered the emigrant ancestor of this line.
The markers for the
North Devon Pincombe family belong to the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype
(WAMH). What we do know about this particular haplotype is that it exists in
very high frequency in the British Isles. This haplotype precedes the Roman
occupation of Britain. This haplotype represents 70% of males in England which
interests me because Pincombe appears to be an old English surname.
